Travel insurance

[normannippy]

Can anyone suggest a travel insurance company which doesn’t quote a fortune for Bronchiectasis sufferers? As we have multiple chest infections this seems to make the amount paid out in insurance astronomical, particularly when going to Canada or America. Thanks!

I recently used "Travel insurance 4 medical" very reasonable and easy to get a quote online ?£25 for 9 days in Greece. I have bronchiectasis and asthma and have had about 6 doses of antibiotics in the last year- before I started the magical mepolizumab

Did that include pre existing conditions? My own insurance company would not insure me at all to go to Italy, and the cheapest I could find was £200, then I found I would be covered by ERS in any event had I gone.

Probably best to just log into the website to get a quote? Someone told me "pink" insurance were good- think this may be for those who have had cancer but all conditions covered.

[normannippy in reply to Mintoes]

Which website do you mean, Mintoes?

[normannippy in reply to cofdrop-UK]

What is ERS please, cofdrop?

Sorry I can’t find your reply! Did you submit it?

Do you think that it will work on bronchiectasis? Is the price reasonable or is it covered? I'm in Canada

I use insure and Go. When I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis they just added on about an extra £8. Only other problem is high blood pressure.

Thanks Joycen60. I did try them but the quote was really high. My husband has health issues too and that doesn’t help.

Hi I think you will find it difficult to find a "reasonable" insurance company. Several of the folk on this forum have found insurers to cover their ailments but at what cost I no not, try the BLF for info they may be able to remember the folk who found the insurers. I can't even get any so have given that exercise up years ago.

Wish you well.

Oh dear. It is very depressing, isn’t it. Thanks anyway.

I am sure that there is a company who specialise in covering Pre-existing conditions - but for the life of me, I cannot remember their name. I know I have it written down somewhere and will try to find it for you and for myself as I have run into the same problem of ridiculous premiums. A radio 4 programme covered the topic about 2 weeks ago. My suggestion is to try every provider and speak to someone rather than fill out the online forms.

Thank you! Will do.
